Alas, mistress Dorothy, this is my luck, that when I most would, I cannot be understood; so that my great learning is an inconvenience unto me. But to speak in plain terms, I love you, mistress Dorothy, if you like to accept me into your familiarity.
DOROTHY.
If this be all, I am content.
STRUMBO.
Sayest thou so, sweet wench; let me lick thy toes. Farewell, mistress.
[Turning to the people.]
If any of you be in love, provide ye a capcase full of new coined words, and then shall you soon have the succado de labres, and something else.
[Exeunt.]
